STAND UP AGAINST TEA PARTY EXTREMISTS IN OHIO!!!!!!!!!

Stand Against Tea Party Extremism!

On Sunday April 11th, the “Tea Party Express” will be bringing their message of racism, sexism, Anti-LGBT bigotry, open calls for terrorist violence, and total de-regulation of capitalism to the Cleveland Area.

Those of us in Cleveland who oppose this ugly movement that shouts racist and homophobic slurs at members of Congress, and engages in terroristic acts of violence against those fighting for a better world will be rallying against this right-wing show of force.

It is incorrect for the forces of social progress to stand by and allow dangerous ultra-rightist elements hijack the outrage of working people in this economic crisis and channel our anger in a racist direction . We must counter the Tea Party extremists, and make it clear that they are not a real alternative to the status quo, and do not offer a hopeful program for the future.

The local chapters of Fight Imperialism – Stand Together, Bail Out The People Movement, Workers World Party, and other progressive organizations say “Be there! Stand up for freedom, equality and justice against ultra-rightist and proto-fascistic elements rallying under the ‘tea party’ banner!”

JOIN US! FIGHT BACK!
